Make your portfolio in just 4 hours? It's possible.

Anmol Baranwal on February 13, 2024

Can you make your portfolio in 4 hours. Sounds crazy, right? Your portfolio is a website that showcases your best work, personality, and talents....

Or use HydePHP to turn your GitHub Readme into a static site hosted on GitHub Pages, in just a few minutes!

Wow! I didn't know about that.
It could be helpful, but as you know, the Readme is limited in what we can do. We have limited control over layout details like fonts and such.
Anyway, I appreciate it! Thanks for sharing :D

Of course! That's why Hyde also supports Blade and HTML when it's needed. But for basic sites, it's so easy and fast I just had to mention it :)

Btw, my homepage is based on my GitHub Readme and made with Hyde caen.desilva.se - all the HTML and CSS comes with Hyde to make it easy and fast to get started!

Well, you should have told me that you built it :D
I think I'm gonna write a post on this. If I do, I will tag you in the post. The portfolio is very clean and good. Best wishes to you and your team!

Anmol, your post is fantastic! I'm positive that it will motivate many individuals to start building their portfolios. As for Peerlist, I find it to be a great, dynamic tool that allows me to bring together all of my development networks. Additionally, the fact that it gives the option to configure a subdomain is killer. ✌️

Thanks!

Yeah! Peerlist is awesome, considering the long period it spent in beta.
I didn't know about the subdomain feature :D

Hopefully, this can help others create their portfolios.

I think it’s a great feature! Just a little bit hidden. The link below should get you to the right place after you have logged in. :)

I've decided to make my own portfolio (after 2.5 years of coding), which feels like a big irony for this post. LOL!

You should definitely have a portfolio unless you can use something for similar purpose; in my case it's GitHub.
You should definitely use these options as a starting point.

If you want me to write on something else, let me know in comments.
I hope you loved this!

I saw that from the very beginning (after 1 day of the post) and even shared it with others. We all loved your portfolio.
It was very well appreciated in the Discord dev community. You've done fantastic work showcasing your skills.
I would recommend adding a contact form. Some might not go to the trouble of visiting your social profiles to connect with you.
Thank you for sharing :D

Seriously, that gameboy portfolio is legendary. Everyone on dev.to has seen the gloriousness that it is. Some day it will be lore on dev.to for how epic it was and if it truly even existed at all 🤔

I already know of more than 3 resources that list good portfolios. I was aware of this one as well. I still believe the best repository is by Victor Eke, where you can find 500+ good portfolios.
This will eventually grow. Thank you for creating such an awesome project :D
